This usually means that you create a file called csv.py in your Users directory, which is interfering with Spyder. Please try to locate it and either remove it or at least rename it.
I was working on a CSV file. All of a sudden Spyder stopped working and I cannot access it anymore. This is the issue I see when launching Spyder from the terminal:

I can't even launch Anaconda navigator. This is what I see:
Thanks!
